“It was our girl's idea that started in 2015, just wanting to sell coffee to parents outside our center as they dropped off for summer programs,” said Kait Berreckman-Corrado, Girls Inc. of Metro Denver director of social enterprise.
“They opened inside Corky Gonzales Library just a couple blocks from our center and served out of a coffee cart there for two years before we had the opportunity to open here at STEAM on the Platte. So all of our baristas are program participants, they're part of the Girls Inc. family. They're girls ages 14 to 24,” Berreckman-Corrado said. “Coffee is a wonderful vehicle to learn transferable skills for other jobs in the future.
“I love it. I mean, I feel like I've been here for a while. But it's been a really good job just to have that flexibility so I can prioritize my education,” de la Rosa said. “I've been at Girls Inc., since I was in, like, second, third grade. I participated in programming through elementary, middle school, and then high school.”
